Join Dame Judi Dench in supporting this year's Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB)'s Christmas Used Stamp Appeal. It won't cost you a penny - just donate your used stamps to the charity and it will be turned into urgently needed funds this Christmas.

Used stamp donations are an important income stream for the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB). Any donated stamps you donate will be sold on to stamp dealers who buy them in the hope that there might be a rare or valuable one amongst the kilos that they buy from a wholesaler.

All the money raised from the appeal goes towards funding the RNIB's core services of advice, support and information to people with sight loss.

Judi says, 'I have aged related macular degeneration but, whilst my sight has been affected, I count myself as one of the lucky ones.'

'Every day 100 people will begin to lose their sight and many will face a future without any help or support. It's heartbreaking to me that RNIB can currently only reach one in three people that need it most. By supporting this all-year-round campaign at Christmas, they can help more people.'

RNIB's stamp campaign was set up in 1993 by a RNIB volunteer and has so far raised over £100,000.
